Once a lobsterman has pulled his pot, he opens it and pulls the lobsters out.The lobsterman is holding a gauge in his left had and measures the carapace. If the lobster is too small, he is thrown back. Females with eggs in the swimmerets will be released back too.Keepers have their claws banded and are put into a holding tank to keep them fresh for market.When the lobsterman arrives at the dealer, they are loaded into totes.

At the pound, they are sorted and put into tanks while waiting to be shipped out.

Fresh New England lobster!

Oh, yah, go get some drawn butter, corn on the cob, some steamers, mussels and have yourself a real treat.

Excellent video Steve! I really enjoyed meeting Joey. He seems like a great guy and a good business man. Quite a talker too!

This is one of the great things about blogs ... you would never see the such detail in a news paper or even on a news website. It's people like you who get down to the nitty gritty show their viewers a small slice of where they live and what it's really like.

Great post! Oh, and I've seen many a lobster in my day but never a speckled one!
